The iconic Nissan Z is also offered with a convertible top. The roadster includes the same 332-bhp 3.7L V6, fully independent suspension, rear-wheel drive and eye-catching styling of the coupe. The convertible model trades the hardtop and hatchback for a power-operated soft-top with a glass rear window. Transmission choices mirror those of the coupe, although the base model includes the 7-speed automatic transmission. With pricing starting at around $41,000, the Z roadster is significantly more expensive than the Mazda MX-5, but more affordable than roadster models from luxury automakers.

The 2013 Z wears a redesigned front fascia with a larger front opening and vertical LED running lamps.
